Chapter 446 - 302: Unscrupulous Silver Dragon

Levi was slightly surprised. He had already approached the High Tier Mage, Bodoff, but even he was helpless against the Red Dragon Soul. Levi had been planning to wait until he reached the Holy Light Church in Gonda and ask Fatir to have His Holiness the Pope take a look.

’I never thought the woman before me could actually solve this problem. Talk about a lucky break.’

The Lord rested his chin in his hand and pondered for a moment before continuing, "In fact, it’s not that I don’t have a way to solve this problem—it’s just a matter of time. This reward isn’t enough to make me take the risk."

Everyone understands the value of a rare commodity. If he didn’t take this chance to extort the Silver Dragon Queen, he might never get such a golden opportunity again.

And as everyone knew, Giant Dragons had a soul-deep love for treasure. Their greatest hobby was collecting it, a lifelong pursuit, as was evident from Sophia.

And an adult Silver Dragon who had traveled the continent for so many years, if not wealthy enough to rival a nation, wouldn’t be far off.

That was why those who always clamored about slaying dragons weren’t just after the Magic Materials a Giant Dragon’s body provided, but also for the treasure hoard that would stir greed in anyone’s heart.

"Levi, isn’t Sophia the greatest reward of all?" Sivia’s lips curved into a cunning smile. "Logically speaking, my daughter has been away from home for so long. As her mother, no matter what, I should bring her back..."

"Alright, Lady Sivia, you don’t need to say any more." Before the silver-haired beauty could finish, the Lord cut her off with a wave of his hand. "We absolutely must continue our discussion about the Bronze Dragon matter."

"Oh? Has Levi had a change of heart?" Sivia’s face first showed surprise, then she couldn’t help but let the corners of her mouth curl up in a smile, like a mischievous child who had just pulled off a prank.

The Lord said righteously, "I have always held the good Metal Dragons in high admiration. That a Bronze Dragon has met with trouble in our human territory is something I cannot turn a blind eye to under any circumstances. It would affect the friendship between our two sides. On this trip to Gonda, I will definitely investigate this matter until the truth comes out!"

After speaking, he even slammed a fist into his palm, projecting a great sense of selflessness.

Anyone else sitting here would have been red-faced, but this was the Lord of High Cliff Castle, whose skin was thick enough to withstand a Giant Dragon’s breath. He didn’t feel the slightest bit of shame.

"Levi, my mother definitely has a lot of money. There’s no need to agree so easily," Sophia spoke up. The Silver Dragon Maiden had no idea she’d already been sold, and was still thinking of helping the Lord use this to extort her own mother. "If it were me, I’d never help her if she didn’t give me money."

"Sophia, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but that kind of thinking is unacceptable." The Lord actually turned around and began to lecture Sophia, his face full of heartache, as if he wasn’t the one who had just been demanding a reward. "Money is nothing but dung. That stuff is just too vulgar."

The Silver Dragon Maiden’s eyes instantly widened like saucers, as if she had seen an Undead. She pawed at the Lord’s face with her small hands. "Levi, have you been possessed by an Evil Spirit?!"

To actually hear the words "money is nothing but dung" come out of the incredibly stingy Levi’s mouth one day, Sophia seriously suspected that he had either been mind-controlled by Spirit Magic or possessed by an Evil Spirit.

"Oh no, I haven’t learned that kind of Magic, so I can’t exorcise the Evil Spirit for you. If you still have any consciousness left, hurry up and give me those hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins, so the Evil Spirit doesn’t take them."

"When you get better, I’ll give them back."

She muttered nonstop, inadvertently revealing her true intentions.

"You’re the one who’s possessed by an Undead." Levi slapped away her restless little hands, his expression wary. "I’m warning you, don’t even think about getting near those Gold Coins."

’Good grief, she’s been after that pile of Gold Coins this whole time.’

’Then again, given the nature of Giant Dragons, the only reason Sophia hadn’t just tried to snatch it was probably out of fear of his iron fists.’

"Levi, you don’t need to worry about this. I will be watching everything from the shadows and appear at the opportune time."

As a Silver Dragon Queen whose personal strength and Magic Cultivation had both reached the Legendary tier, and who also bore the title "Starlight," Sivia was truly unpretentious. She was like an ordinary, beautiful woman, her tone gentle.

In a Knightly Novel, she was the type that would make a whole crowd of young boys pine for her.

"I’ll give you this Ring of Dawn. It will glow if it senses the Bronze Dragon, and it will get brighter the closer you are. Also, if you activate it, you will be instantly transported away from your current location to a place over fifteen miles away."

Sivia opened her palm, and a gilded ring appeared out of thin air, floating above it.

Levi didn’t stand on ceremony. He took it and curiously examined it in his palm. On his thumb, he was already conspicuously wearing a green Ring.

It was the one Fujero had given him last time at the White Bone Fortress. Afterwards, he never had a chance to use its Magic, so the Lord simply decided to openly keep it.

He put it directly on his middle finger. Wearing two priceless Magic Rings on one hand gave him the air of a rural, new-money landlord.

"Why does this Ring look so familiar?" Sophia’s expression suddenly turned strange.

"Is that so? You must be mistaken. After all, there are plenty of identical Rings in the world." Sivia laughed, a little guiltily.

"No, that’s the Ring Uncle Fiat gave me! I clearly hid it in a very secret place!" The more Sophia looked, the more familiar it seemed. Her face was a mask of shock and disbelief.
